Co5Pr-D2d is promising permanent magnet. Due to its peritectic formation feature, there is a synthetic challenge to produce single Co5Pr-D2d phase. The object of our study is to assess thermodynamic pathways for crystalline phases under far-from-equilibrium conditions by combining first-principles calculations and experimental measurements into a robust description of the thermodynamic behavior. The energetic calculations, temperature and time dependent phase selections are predicted under varying degrees of chemical partitioning. Our calculation to assess the chemical partitioning-temperatures indicates that the major magnetic compounds: Co17Pr2-α, Co5Pr-D2d, Co19Pr5-β, and Co7Pr2-χ form from a congruent manner to eutectic reactions with decreasing cooling rate. The compositions of the compounds from these highly driven liquids can be far from equilibrium.
